Recycling and Upcycling (RU) Business Incubation Program and Post-Incubation Support in Pokhara Metropolitan City

Implementation of the Recycling and Upcycling (RU) Business Incubation Program and Post-Incubation Support under KOICA and UNDP supported Green Job Creation Through Recycling and Upcycling (GCRU) project in Pokhara Metropolitan City.

“Green Job Creation through Recycling and Upcycling in Pokhara (GCRU) project” in financial support of KOICA and technical support of UNDP in collaboration with Pokhara Metropolitan City (PMC), is designed to promote the green economy by establishing recycling/upcycling (RU) enterprises based on the circular economy model, in place of the current ‘throw-away’ linear approach, thereby increasing green jobs and reducing pollution and negative environmental impact of solid waste. The project focuses on three interlinked areas: policy and coordination, promotion of RU enterprises, and community empowerment for awareness and local RU initiatives.
